[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter to charter doesn't happen unless it's an "even exchange" and I'm not sure how a charter would even do this. As I understand it, charter funding is based on children in seats at a given date in October. After this, individual schools have no motivation to let anyone new in should space open up. If the child moves out, however, they keep the funding and have an empty space.[/quote] I can't speak for other schools, but this is not true at Bridges. If there are open seats (even mid-year, say, because of a family moving), the Director will fill them. Even well after count day.[/quote] I understand that other charter leaders do the same to ensure full enrollment for the future, but this is not the rule. Charters generally also have the advantage of not filling certain grades if children leave, e.g. 6th and 8th grade.[/quote]
